AndrAIa's Log- 00110001 [Video]

[andr_ai_a]

[There's supposed to be a video feed, but it's pitch black and it's hard to see. It's night and you can barely make out a female, slightly illuminated by the Core building's light.]

Hm... well, I see a lot is going on in this place. The welcoming committee was a little less comforting than I'm sure they meant to be.

[She stops a moment, and you can make out her features a bit better. Teal eyes, teal hair. She eyes some of the signs around the baseball diamond.]

Someone's got a sense of humor.

So... go to the light or head into the pitch black towards what I can only imagine is just my very own personal parade.

Hm. Tough choice.

Anyone see any other outsider sprites around here?

[Yes, strange enough a face helps a great deal.]

I'm doing just fine, all things considering.

It's nice to see your face, Dave.

[crowsicle]

[He shrugs and folds his wings more neatly behind his back.]

Yeah, I know, this is the face that sunk a thousand ships, I should be in films, blah blah et cetera. So, like.

[He crosses his arms over his chest and tilts his head slightly to one side, thinking.]

Okay. You've spent your whole life inside a computer, right? How much do you know about, y'know. Life on the outside. For Users or whatever.

[andr_ai_a]

Honestly? Barely anything.

I know Users play games, and create viruses. That's about it.

[crowsicle]

Uh. That. Sure is a place to start.

Okay well first off, you're not gonna get real far calling them "Users." And "player" has a different connotation that a lady of your obvious moral character wouldn't use. Everybody--most people you'll end up talking to here'll call themselves "human." I guess if you explain that you're not human, people will at least get why you don't get things.

Though don't spread that intel around. I hear there's mad scientist fuckers in residence.

[andr_ai_a]

So you're telling me to tell humans that I'm not human but to be careful who I tell.

Wouldn't it be better just not to explain things then? That would probably save the risk of the mad-scientist types you're talking about. Are they really something to look out for?

[crowsicle]

I don't know. I haven't been here that long, but that's what the schizophrenic reject clown told me and obviously that dude was a gushing fountain of reliable information.

I guess I'm saying keep it to yourself unless you've got a problem and telling someone won't make it a bigger problem. You look more human than I do at this point so people might figure you're just a fucking weirdo and not a game construct. There's all sorts here in Canada.

[andr_ai_a]

[She laughs a little]

Well, I appreciate the advice, Dave.

[crowsicle]

Yeah, I know, I'm like a rampant geyser of useful information. I'm Old Faithful at Yellowsprite Park, wait around five minutes and I spout yet another gem of wisdom for the helpless masses.

Think you'll be okay?

[andr_ai_a]

Sure, I think I can handle it.

[She smirks]

Or do I need to wait for 5 minutes just in case?

[crowsicle]

Already got the rundown on darkness monsters, a month's free rent, sex slaves, and being stuck like a pig on a stick on this godforsaken ice cube?

[andr_ai_a]

Must've missed the sex slaves bit... but there's really no way out of here?

[crowsicle]

That's what the other little birdies told me. I didn't bother to test it, didn't want to end up like a side of scrambled eggs on the breakfast of chumpions.

[andr_ai_a]

That's reason enough to avoid trying.

These organizations- Afterglow and SERO. What do you make of them?

[crowsicle]

[He shakes his head and shrugs again.]

I've only been here a couple weeks. You ask me, they both sound shady as fuck and everyone I've talked to's said the same thing. Even nutclown.
